Sinn Féin Congratulates A-Level Students - Hazzard

“I believe that we will see record grades when the A-Level
results are announced and I would like to congratulate everyone who have worked
hard to achieve this.

“As more and more students opt to stay and apply for
Universities closer to home the number of students applying has increased
immensely.

“I would also like to say that those people who do not get
the grades they were expecting not to panic but to talk to their local teachers
and to the universities they have applied for in order to find the correct
course or alternative option.

“I am however concerned that although we will see more young
people receive top grades less and less will be able to take up the option of
third level education due to the huge costs involved.

“It is important that third level education is accessible
and affordable to all members of society and Sinn Féin will continue to work to
ensure that this is the case.”
